What Are Sports Injury Prevention Programs?

Sports injury prevention is a structured approach that addresses the most common reasons athletes get hurt—poor movement patterns, mobility restrictions, strength imbalances, decreased stability, fatigue, and training overload. Instead of waiting for pain to appear, we identify risk factors early and build a plan to improve how your body loads, accelerates, decelerates, cuts, lands, and recovers.

  • Improve strength, stability, and control to protect joints

     

  • Enhance mobility and flexibility for clean, efficient mechanics

     

  • Build power and conditioning without breaking down

     

  • Train landing, cutting, and change-of-direction technique

     

  • Reduce recurrence of prior injuries and overuse flare-ups

     

  • Create a sustainable plan for in-season and off-season training

At Farmington Physical Therapy, prevention training is individualized to your sport, position, age, and history—so you’re not just doing exercises, you’re building the exact capacity your sport requires.

What Our Programs Help Improve

Injury risk often comes from small deficits that add up—especially when intensity and volume increase. Our program focuses on:

  • Hip and core strength for better alignment and control
  • Knee stability and landing mechanics
  • Shoulder and scapular control for overhead and contact sports
  • Ankle mobility and balance for cutting and jumping
  • Hamstring and groin strength for sprinting and change-of-direction
  • Conditioning and fatigue-resistance to maintain form late in games
Common Athlete Issues We Address

  • ACL injury risk factors and poor landing mechanics
  • Runner’s knee, IT band pain, and patellar tendon pain
  • Shin splints and stress-related lower leg pain
  • Ankle sprains and recurrent instability
  • Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff overload
  • Hip flexor, groin, and hamstring strains
  • Low back pain from poor core control or overtraining
  • Overuse injuries from rapid training increases or faulty mechanics
